Yep, he was part of that 1-15 team, but he's actually a good 3-4 defensive mind. Parcells cleaned house.

Capers actually was a Patriots secondary/special assistant coach the following year. That's the connection. He then went to the Packers as their DC and their defense improved to 2nd in the NFL his first year. I would say that a lack of investment in the defense led to his demise in Green Bay.

Grier suggested the team’s two first-time coordinators (very likely O’Shea and Graham) will have guidance from “veteran guys to lean on.”

Though Grier didn’t offer names, former Lions and Colts coach Jim Caldwell — who has an offensive background — is expected to join the staff, and a source confirmed that Flores has been trying to hire longtime former NFL defensive coordinator Dom Capers as a senior defensive assistant.

Capers appears to have interest unless he can land an NFL defensive coordinator job, with Sirius XM mentioning the Bengals as a possibility.

Capers, 68, has been defensive coordinator of the Steelers, Jaguars, Dolphins (during the 1-15 season in 2007) and Green Bay, from 2009 through 2017. He also was the head coach of the Houston Texans from 2002 through 2005, going 42-80.

If there was a pro bowl category for staff , this one is shaping up to be just that.Grab one of the decent free agent QBs and in this AFC we will be in the playoff hunt all year. And im not talking about that still in the mix category.
